Optical velocity meter has a measurement head with a multiplicity of fiber optic cables for creating a light pattern of the surface of a moving object with electronics for carrying out spectral analysis of the reflected signal

摘要

Device for measuring the velocity of a moving object comprises a first element with a multiplicity of fiber optic cables arranged to generate an optical pattern on a moving object. A receiver receives a reflected light signal back which is analyzed by electronics module. The receiver is integrated in the optical head of the device. An Independent claim is included for a method of measuring the velocity of an object.
